Original Song in our life
We know of a lot of great musicians who have never written an original song in their life. Some of the greatest technically brilliant musicians of all time were never able to write good, popular songs.
Some of the worst instrumentalists of all time have written original rock songs that have made millions of dollars so it is bewildering to think that the best have trouble creating original tunes. Although the left side and right side of the brain theory has been debunked, it is still basically true that creative people do not always make the best technicians and vice versa.
Original tunes are not created using a formula. That being said, there are some guidelines for writing popular and rock tunes and that formula has worked brilliantly for many years and for many of the top selling artists of all time. The chorus is also called the hook and may be repeated at the end while the recording fades.
This does not teach you how to write a hit original song. You still need to use your imagination and have lots of feeling. Most of the time a hit original song comes from a person’s life experience or something painful that happened to them.
